About

PiPeek

Features
Read full description

PiPeek is a compact Pi-hole companion for people who want network DNS visibility without keeping the Pi-hole admin page open. Open PiPeek on Mac, iPhone, or Apple Watch to see recent DNS queries, scan allowed and blocked traffic, and keep a small console-style view nearby while your network runs. It is designed for Pi-hole v6 installations and connects directly to the Pi-hole server you configure. What PiPeek helps you do: - Watch recent DNS query activity in a focused live feed. - Filter by domain, client, and allowed or blocked status. - Hide noisy domains or devices from your local PiPeek view. - Quickly allow, block, or pause Pi-hole blocking when you need control. - Review overview stats such as total queries, blocked queries, unique clients, and cached or forwarded activity. - Keep settings in sync across the Apple app family with iCloud key-value sync. PiPeek does not replace Pi-hole. It gives you a fast, native dashboard for the checks and small actions you use most often. PiPeek requires access to a Pi-hole server that you own or are authorized to administer. Some features require a PiPeek subscription after the free trial, where available.
